Hi, my name is Nicholas! I love to learn about history, but not the boring facts and lessons you learn in school. I like the fun and crazy things that have happened in our past, and I want to share those historical moments with you! Like how a bear became a soldier in the Polish military, or when the CIA made a cyborg cat in the 60's! If you like history, or just want to hear some of the wacky stuff from our past, then this is the podcast for you! @HistHijinks www.historicalhijinks.com
